§ 152.131 OTHER LAWFUL ACTION.
   Nothing in this chapter restricts the City of Mora from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation. If the responsible party does not appropriately respond to the Community Development Director within the specified period of time, each additional day that lapses will constitute an additional violation of this chapter and will be prosecuted accordingly.
(Ord. 481, passed 2-16-2021)
§ 152.132 ENFORCEMENT.
   Violations of the provisions of this chapter will be investigated and resolved in accordance with the provisions of § 150.999 of the Zoning Code. In responding to a suspected ordinance violation, the Community Development Director and City Council may utilize the full array of enforcement actions available to it including but not limited to prosecution and fines, injunctions, after-the-fact permits, orders for corrective measures or a request to the National Flood Insurance Program for denial of flood insurance availability to the guilty party. The City of Mora must act in good faith to enforce these official controls and to correct ordinance violations to the extent possible so as not to jeopardize its eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program.
